Thanks NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Fair Winds for a great copy of the book!
This book is easily a 5-star rating for me! I have never taken so many notes reading a book in my life although I have read quite many non-fiction books already. It explains a complicated topic systematically and comprehensively with an appropriate amount of information. The book is structured very nicely making it easier for the reader to understand with good summaries at the beginning of the book and every chapter.
Target audience:
- People who have chronic pain, chronic fatigue, always low energy, and don't understand why
- The ones who are disappointed at our modern healthcare system, how ignorant they are of your suffering, how hard it is, and how long it takes them to help you
- You want to learn more about how our mind and body are connected, how your dysregulated brain can affect you physically in a way that you don't expect
I have never thought our mind and body are connected and intertwined very tightly. I had many "ah-ha" moments and revelations while reading it because it explained very clearly the issues that I have but I don't know how to explain why and how to fix them. The author provides valid arguments for the question of why we need to learn how to heal ourselves and not rely only on the modern healthcare system. The book is non-judgmental, open-minded, and provides an objective scientific view. Although it is a scientific book, it's not super heavy. I appreciate that the author provides an appropriate amount of her spiritual view as well. The spiritual aspect is sometimes as important as the scientific one in my opinion.
There are just a few small drawbacks that I can think of. Chapter 12 should be somewhere at the beginning of the book from my point of view because it would provide more information for the readers to understand why they need to read this book. The chapter would motivate the readers more as well. Moreover, some chapters are a bit longer than expected and a bit repetitive.
All in all, I totally recommend this book!
